Re: What do you do when you're not on BFFC?

I enjoy a good number of activities, but I usually find myself working and doing school work. I'm currently finishing up a BS degree in Ecology, hoping to continue my education and get into herpetology more. I like being outside and telling my friends 'useless' information about the outside world around them.

Congratulations!! It sounds like your little one has seen a few milestones. I you could improve Twilight. I saw the first one but as for New Moon I'm not going to bother. The whole series looks like it could stand improvement.

Re: What do you do when you're not on BFFC?

When I'm not here or on the internet full stop, I'm either writing Star Wars, sci fi stories, drawing sci fi influences and being a soldier in the British Army. I'm on my leave at the moment so I've got more 'me' time for now. Saw James Cameron's Avatar last Friday, enjoyed it immensely.

Re: What do you do when you're not on BFFC?

I still spend way too much time on my PC for my own good. It's the summer and the weather is wonderful outside. What did I do today? Spent hours trying to draw realistic ripped jeans. Not stuff I'll wear. Just stuff that can be worn by characters in a videogame. For the curious ones of you, here's where my last couple hours of life went. In drawing holes like this.

Hours. If anyone has techniques to go faster (or increase realism without having a model sit in front of me for each detail), please tell. Feel the texture, they say, but it's hard to feel pixels.

Lately I spend my whole days developing my ability to texture. I would never do so many hours at something for a job, but since I am not paid for this, it is my new conception of fun apparently.

And today my toddler spent a couple hours watching that. She has a million toys, puzzles and stuff of all kinds, but no, she wanted to watch me smudge my pixels.

Going out? Seeing people? Get a tan? Spend some money on me and my pretty girls? Maybe another day.

Cast iron and treadmills? Oh yes. Still sculpting me to what I really want to be, and I love it. :)

Re: What do you do when you're not on BFFC?

Wasting time on art is awesome, though. I just got Photoshop back, I really need to sit down and really learn how to use it/practice using it. And yes, I plan on taking a class on how to use it soon.

As for my current time waster, video games. Shortly before Memorial Day last month I sat down and had a mega Metroid marathon. Played Metroid (the original), Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Metroid, and Metroid Fusion. In the span of about eight days. And then I played Super Metroid a second time. And then I played it a third time. And a fourth. And a fifth. And now I'm fighting off an addiction to play it again because I've really perfected my "100% in well under 2:30" technique. Oy. XD

I plan on writing some more this summer as well. ...When I'm not playing video games, lol!

Re: What do you do when you're not on BFFC?

Yeah in Tucson right now it gets well over 100 every day now. And the slowly rising humidity as monsoon season approaches will just make it wrose. At least, it will if it doesn't cool down after a storm.

Re: What do you do when you're not on BFFC?

Here in Montreal we are on an island. So humidity can feel like breathing through a blanket sometimes in the summer. And we get these .. clouds of bugs. Like moths but something else. Millions and millions of them, you can't open the eyes or breathe while you walk through that. It lasts maybe a day or two. In June. It's past now. But we get that each year. It's like they come, reproduce like crazy, then they all die or go off, no idea where.

Cast iron and treadmills? Oh yes. Still sculpting me to what I really want to be, and I love it. :)
